Companion

Everyone needs companion. One's companion can be a boat, a dog, brothers, partner, or a competitor. Stories about partnership are often touching.

Those touching stories could be find in Sai Kung, Hong Kong. Sai Kung is a scenery place where people can enjoy water activities and tasty seafoods.

Chan's family picked 19th February as a day to capture great stories. Luckily, sun shined on us after a few days of moody weather. We walked along a concrete pathway beside the ocean. People with dogs and kids celebrated the unexpected sunny day. Kids were chasing each other, while doggies were tailing behind; fishermen were selling their fresh seafoods, while buyers were betting the prizes. Further away from Sai Kung downtown, a small beach emerged in front of us. Couples loved to slow down their peace and enjoyed their time on the golden sands. Contradictory, an old man with short pant sat on an elongated boat silently. Passed the beach, a sporty group performed the most unseen physical recreation. They formed in a circle like some ritual performent, and then two competitors danced (or challenged) each other with different movements. At night, our trip closured with a great seafood dinner. Wonderful time went by fast, but we didn't feel one single moment of solitude.

I may exaggerated my words a bit, but this was truly how I felt when I visited this wonderful place with great companion: my family.
